tomorrow afternoon. scores of cities have cancelled classes. the governors of massachusetts, connecticut, rhode island, have declared states of emergency in the weak of the snow, which basically bans all travel, so no traffic in all of massachusetts, 100 days ago superstorm sandy devastated stretches of the northeast. many are stocking up on food, water, gas in case there are shortages, and there are possibilities of that. they're already warning of possible widespread powerout acknowledges, in new york city it might be ice first. we're in lower manhattan. battery park city. this is misery upon misery for superstorm sandy victims. >> certainly is. this huge snowstorm is going to hit many of the exact same areas that sandy hit so hard just about, as you said, 100 days ago. there are many people, victims of sandy, who still are not back in their homes, living in shelters, many of them. there are many who have not back into their homes but have not yet got full power. cannot run full heating. so they're going to suffer a great deal tonight with these diving temperatures. the snow and the wi

installed secretary of state john kerry has republicans in massachusetts in something of a quandary and with only a few months to decide on a suitable candidate. as for tagg, romney, you may remember his reaction to the president after the second debate. >> jump out of your seat and you want to rush down the debate stage and take a swing at him and you know you can't do that because there's a lot of secret service between i and him and that's the nature of the process. >> steve kornacki and professor bob shrum, a democrat ink strategist and a columnist for the daily beast. steve, on friday you wrote the republican panic stems from the fact they believed scott brown was their best hope. the boston herald reports tagg is considering a run, ann romney is a popular figure. has it really come down to this for the republicans in massachusetts? >> well, i mean, it really has. to put it in context, when scott brown won in the 2010 special election, previous to that for three of the four previous senate elections before 2010, the republican party basically took off in massachusetts. that's h

years ago back in 2003. and that is the fear that made massachusetts governor duvall patrick to take drastic action. he said, if you are on the road driving after 4:00 this afternoon, you could face a year in jail. a significant step to make. "outfront," jason carroll, he's live in boston. ali velshi is live. jason, it has been a pretty incredible day there. and record snowfall throughout. what's it been like? >> well, i have to tell you, erin, condition here in boston are frankly miserable. it's a kind of icy snow that's been blowing around in your face. and just to give you an idea the condition of snow, earlier today it was very sticky. it's starting to become much more powdery now. that's going to make conditions worse. when you have powdery snow blowing around with strong wind gusts that we're experiencing, in fact, at logan airport, they clocked 40 to 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts. when you have that powdery snow blowing around like that, the wind, the conditions, the conditions in terms of visibility become very, very difficult. so that's what we're experiencing now in boston. a

has moved offshore but that left plenty of damage behind. massachusetts was one of the hardest-hit states. j. gray has a closer look at the aftermath. >> good evening. in some areas, the snow is almost two feet deep. what we are learning is the determination to fight back runs deeper. the wind and snow have finally stopped and across it in when the focus has turned to what would be a typical recovery. >> the police and national guard have been working in tandem. >> but these are the most important teams right now -- crews working through brutal conditions to restore power to hundreds of thousands, many still without heat. >> we are working hard. we are working 16 hour shifts. in this weather, that's tough. >> it was tough to dig out dozens of cars. across the region, many of the roads have reopened but are very messy and public transportation is offline. which means of those who want to get around have to be a bit creative period >> going down the hill. trying to ski in boston for the first time. >> sleds, even a kayak. but for longer trips, airports have reopened but flight op

have a ways to go. but the court's conservatives seem to agree the law is outdated. massachusetts said head chief justice roberts not covered by the law has the worst ratio of african-american to white voter turnout. mississippi, he said, has the best. the post world war ii marshall plan, said justice kennedy, was very good too, but times change. and justice scalia said the law is an example of what he called the perpetuation of racial entitlement. once such laws are adopted, he said, it's very difficult to get out of them through the normal political process. the court seems to be at least on the verge of striking down the coverage formula. and if it does, congress would have the politically explosive chore of drawing a whole new map, saying where discrimination is still a problem and where it isn't, and that would be a very tall order, brian. >> pete williams, present for the arguments today inside the supreme court. pete, thanks. >>> and now to rome. there continues to be an emotional time in the catholic church, and there is no road map for what's happening right now. pope benedict

scott brown has declared tonight that he's not running for the senate again up in massachusetts. i assume this means he will run for governor. i think it's a smart move for him. being a legislator is not for everyone. you have to have the patience and the personal instinct to move the bill forward. as again, i'll say it's not for everyone. he might be smart to wait his chance as he seems to be doing a run for an executive job, one that he can grab, hold onto and really do something with. we'll see. as for the senate seat in massachusetts, i have a firm grip on who i'd like to see take it. congressman edward markey is the most principle person i know in politics. the pollute ters, the people who make bad products. he has sat on legislative committees and seen the power of special interest and he again and again has taken them on. markey is a committed believer in the dangers of nuclear war. he has always, from his first days in the house back in the 1970s, refused to buckle to the forces of selfishness and power. ed markey is running for the senate seat. he enjoys the support of mrs

for a competitive senate race in a special election in massachusetts, you may not get one. you can now add former massachusetts governor william well to the list of republicans who say they are not running in the massachusetts special. let's bring back our gaggle. ramesh, susan, steve. on friday morning, we knew that scott brown was releasing a statement. the minute he said that you sort of knew where the writing was. i was surprised by some of the reporting that said he shocked republicans by not running. i would have been shocked if he had run. >> we think he's going to run for governor. probably a better race for him and maybe a better job. people who have worked in the senate might think being governor is a better place to be. >> steve, we were reminding folks on friday that martha cokely got 47%. if on the republicans' greatest day of all time, low democratic point in massachusetts, and your ceiling is 53, it's not going to happen. >> it's not going to happen for that reason. >> even if your name is scott brown, after his whole -- this time they had actually run a campaign against him. >> th

in a surprise move, of course, former massachusetts senator scott brown announced via text message that he would not be running for the seat. that prompted jed lewison and the merry liberal pranksters at daily kos to start a campaign to draft mitt romney to run for that seat. quote, with brown out in massachusetts, we must draft mitt romney for u.s. senate. draft mitt. no deferments this time. then much to the surprise and delight of the already delighted folks at daily kos, then came reports that not mitt, but some other romney was seriously considering running. the news came from "the boston herald," which claimed to have learned that tagg romney was considering running for seat now that scott brown had opted out. and that was on top of "the herald's" weekend reporting that they were urging tagg to run for senate. maybe he was just the wrong romney. republicans in massachusetts just itching to get a romney, some romney, any romney back on the ballot this year. 23 points. but almost as quickly as the ann or tagg romney excitement had built up, it started to crumble. and by this afternoon, tagg
